lyrics

Wistful
(Translation by Teek@kompoz.com)

The end so close
Death so far
Life in the face of promises
Are we destined
To live among the stars

When we seek and never find
Almost seems a senseless search
We seek an answer to a question
Which does not exist

Life without meaning
Life without sense
How much do we need to Believe in nothingness

Admirable they are
That die for a life of freedom
But the absurdity of this search
Can be assured only for them

--

Wistful
(German lyrics by elmentraudt)

Das Ende so nah – der Tod so fern
Leben im Angesicht von Versprechungen
Leben im Suchen vergangen
Milliardenfach vergangen im Licht der Sehnsucht

Leben im Angesicht eines phantastischen Sinns
den wir suchen und doch nie finden werden
Fast scheint der Sinn die Suche zu sein
Aber auch das nur eine weitere Antwort auf eine Frage,
die es nicht gibt.

(Leben ohne Sinn)
Wieviel Kraft braucht der Glaube an das Nichts?
(Leben ohne Sinn)
Bewundernswert, wer da nicht sterben will.

Kann eine Suche einen Sinn ergeben?
Ist es nicht vielmehr die Absurdität dieser Suche
die allein für uns Gewissheit sein kann?
Wie glücklich könnten wir doch sein,
wenn wir uns mit der Absurdität zufrieden gäben.

(Ein Leben ohne Sinn)
Wieviel Kraft braucht der Glaube an das Nichts
(Ein Leben in Absurdität)
Bewundernswert, wer da noch sterben will

Ein Leben in Freiheit vom Sinn
Nicht mehr gekettet an die Knechte der Versprechung
Wie frei wir doch sind – wie menschlich wir doch sind
In dem einen Augenblick, der uns die Stärke gibt
das Absurde zu überwinden, indem wir leben
